"This novel will draw in reluctant readers with the mysterious supernatural elements as well as the mayhem and defiance. Once hooked, they will be moved by the way that Bobby reassesses his expectations for himself due to the kindness and mentoring of a neighbor."

"Irish author Thompson is well established as a master of supernatural stories, but she shines here in the realistic plot as well. "
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"True to an astonishingly amoral worldview while equally revealing of Bobby's compassion, this novel scintillates."
